Abstract:We experimentally demonstrate wavelength-tunable self-mode-locking (SML) operation generated in an optically pumped semiconductor disk laser (OP-SDL) with a straight cavity. The operation is achieved by insetting an etalon into the cavity, and wavelength tuning range of 11 nm can be achieved by adjusting the angle of etalon. After aligning the cavity carefully, stable self-mode-locking is obtained when the pump power was beyond 5 W, and the pulse period of 0.99 ns agrees well with the round-trip time determine… Show more
